Your green roof  is an incredible engineering feat that provides insulation and storm water management, but could its lush greenery be putting you at risk for an invasion of pests? Vegetated roofs are often touted as a way to encourage biodiversity, but that isn’t limited to the plant selection. Whether your roof has low grass, flowers, shrubs, or food gardens, insects and animals will inevitably be attracted to the foliage.   Integrated pest management can help you stay ahead of pest activity and ensure any infestations are treated in an environmentally sensitive manner. Follow these tips to ensure your roof will thrive without becoming overrun with wildlife. 1) Understand Which Pests Frequent Vegetated Roofs : Animals need three things to survive – food, water, and shelter – so it’s no surprise that a manicured green roof can provide these in abundance.  “Green roofs are living architecture,” explains Pat Copps, a board certified entomologist and technical services

Mosquitoes - Facts, Identification & Infestation Latin Name Family Culicidae Appearance/Identification Mosquitoes belong to the same group as the true flies, Diptera. As such, they have a single pair of wings. They typically have long, thin legs and a head featuring a prominent proboscis. Mosquito bodies and wings most often are covered in tiny scales. Adult sizes may range from 3 to 9 mm. Behavior, Diet & Habits Mosquitoes are best known for the habits of the adult females which often feed on blood to help generate their eggs. The lesser-known side is that mosquito adults, males and females, also feed on nectar from flowers. Their immature stages usually are located in standing, preferably stagnant, water. The larvae feed on variety of materials, depending on species. Most consume organic flotsam and tiny aquatic organisms. However, some species are predatory and will consume other mosquitoes. Adult mosquitoes prefer to be most active from dusk until dawn but

Sick building syndrome  ( SBS ) is used to describe situations in which building occupants experience acute health and comfort effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building, but no specific illness or cause can be identified. SBS is also used interchangeably with "building-related symptoms[,]" which orients the name of the condition around patients rather than a “sick” building. A 1984  World Health Organization  (WHO) report suggested up to 30% of new and remodeled buildings worldwide may be subject of complaints related to poor  indoor air quality . Sick building causes are frequently pinned down to flaws in the   heating, ventilation, and air conditioning   (HVAC) systems. Other causes have been attributed to contaminants produced by   outgassing   of some types of building materials,   volatile organic compounds   (VOC),   molds   (see   mold health issues ), improper exhaust ventilation of   ozone   (byproduct of some office machinery), light industri
